Norges malerkunst i middelalderen

Fett, Harry, b. 1875 · 1917 · Kristiania : A. Cammermeyer · 38 pictures

Norges malerkunst i middelalderen is a 1917 Norwegian art history volume by Harry Fett, published in Kristiania by A. Cammermeyer, surveying medieval painting in Norway for a scholarly readership. Its pictures are black-and-white photographs of church wall paintings, carved and painted altar panels, and tomb-slab reliefs, recording faded surfaces with cracks and flaking plaster. A designer might take from them the worn, layered texture of aged pigment and the stiff, flat compositions of Gothic religious narrative.
